YSRCP Demands Education Minister Nara Lokesh's Resignation Over DSC Irregularities

Analysed 25 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·Andhra Pradesh, India·Politics
YSRCP Demands Education Minister Nara Lokesh's Resignation Over DSC IrregularitiesPreviousNext

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has called for the resignation of Andhra Pradesh Education Minister Nara Lokesh over alleged widespread irregularities in the District Selection Committee (DSC) examinations, including question paper setting, leaks, and recruitment issues. YSRCP leader Talari Rangaiah urged Lokesh to take moral responsibility, citing the resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan after the NEET paper leak. The party warned of protests if Lokesh does not resign, contrasting this with their own government's recruitment efforts, which they claim were fair and transparent.
